Am new which stilts do I get?
« on: July 28, 2011, 07:38:27 PM »
Hi im 23 from manchester uk, a friends friend recently shown me these ive had a go for two days and i love them got use to them very quickly (i think they were poweriser ones they felt a bit big and stiff so maybe they werent the size for me) but i am keen to buy a pair but dont know which ones, i want ones that are comfortable and ones that i can start doing tricks on

i am 5 foot 8 and weigh 10stone (64kg) (140 pound) oh and should i stay in my weight or go up?

the ones ive looked at are; poweriser, powerstrider, pro jump and air trekkers (and powerskip but obviously to expensive)

thanks

I would recommend the Exo pro's

I have tried all the others and find the Exo's much better in all ways and they are reasonably priced

But I am a Projump fan  :Cbiggrin:

I got to agree with Jason, every word. For what they cost you can't go wrong.

Growing OLD is compulsory. Growing UP is optional. OPT OUT!

I did write out a nice reply to this but got distracted by a phone call and lost my reply.

I deffo think 70's aswell. 60's are very much regarded as girly stilts though they are also suitable for small teenagers. I think 70's will suit you just fine and projump offer the best value for money on the market at the moment.
